that's IT? Khan, you MUST be slipping! A perfect setup like that, and that's all you post? I'm disappointed in you!

Scott, FYI, it's normally looked upon with suspicion when a new member's first post is a request for everyone to go and hit their MP3 site - bordering on (dare I say it?) SPAM. And the mighty KHAN is normally murder on spammers... as he is the master of the mighty smiley, and has one for every situation known to man...

Normal "manners" dictate getting to know people here first, and then, after you've made a few posts, post this sort of links to your music to the "is your music any good - find out here" thread. Since you're new, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt regarding your lack of knowledge of our normal protocols here.

Here's a Stripper Bar Show Soundtrack...I performed the entire thing on my Korg Karma keyboard into ProTools, scoring it to the video file provided by the Porn Company (in between wanking sessions, but those are the perks!)...

I came over form another forum that was just getting too juvenile, too vulgar, too hostile, and was looking for a place to connect with some actual fellow pros...

I hoped to just get my music out there, and develop some relationships without all the dancing around the issue...I am simply too busy to spend a ton of time posting gradual posts...I thought I'd cut to the chase, that's all...

...and of course, the obligatory message from the moderator, which is...

Post your music in the "Is Your Music Any Good? Find Out Here" thread. This was created because you are not the first person to want your music heard, and posted something to that effect. The problem is that there is a lot of traffic on this board, and folders are usually on relatively broad topics, or specific ones that deal with problem-solving, equipment choosing, etc. So, it's looked upon unkindly for anyone to post a topic that either is, or appears to be, self-promotional.

Steve, don't worry...if you had been a truly pro spammer, the posse here would have been BRUTAL. We're a self-policing zone, which is one of the ways we keep things civil. You don't even want to know what happens to people who persist in being jerks, but it's not pretty.

Curve, by the way, has a wicked sense of humor...one of the high points of the forum. So, jump in and enjoy yourself, I hope you get some responses over in the other thread.

Anderton,

Yeah no spam intended...again, just trying to make some connections...

Yeah curve is wicked, ha ha...whatever...

Personally, new members being cussed at is something that YOU should not tolerate as the moderator...

Oh, and I'll check out the other thread, it's just a shame no one else bothered to mention it, but preferred to instead make the less civlized choice...

Scott, a few comments and suggestions - I mean these in the best possible way, so please take them as they're intended:

First of all, this is a diverse forum, with a VERY wide range of members. Some pros, some newbies, some hobbiests. If you want to talk about music, or have a specific question or thought about something, feel free to start a new thread. Again, as Craig mentioned, there's a specific thread intended for those who wish to share their music with everyone. I DID mention it, but you must have missed it. Here's a link:

The "Kung Fu" comment is a reference to another thread where we were discussing some other things, and the actual meaning of the word "kung fu" was discussed.

It can't be ALL puerility and trolling in here...

I assure you it's not. As Craig said, it's pretty much a "self policing" forum. Yes, he's got the "power" as the moderator to delete posts and threads, but you'll find that this usually doesn't happen on the musicplayer forums. Why? Because they try to let everyone have their say, and the "jerks/spammers/trolls" get dealt with in short order by the regular members. This forum is FAR less prone to flamefests and other such problems that are regular occurances on most other forums. They're a great place for information, meeting new people and just hanging out and discussing all sorts of things - music being the most prevailant topic, but we DO veer off all over the place at times.

The reason why we normally suggest people "get to know" people a little first before posting their own music is not just "manners" but also so you have an idea of the personalities of those who may respond to you. There's ALL TYPES here - this isn't a "Christian" forum (although there's several "Christians" here - if you're looking for a "Christian" forum, see the link / thread I placed up a day or two ago). There's all sorts of different personality types, religious beliefs, language standards, etc. etc. Such diversity is, IMO, a good thing. You just have to learn to take what you want, share what you can, and ignore the rest.

So if you want to talk about recording, or theory, or anything else, feel free to start an appropriate topic, or join in and offer your thoughts on one of the already established threads. I'm sure that as you get to know everyone, you'll appreciate a lot of what these forums have to offer.

Craig,

Thank you my good brother. Happy holidays and a prosperous new year to you and your family.

BTW: We had a boisterous family reunion at the Curve household at Xmas, and your name came up. Bobby lent me a rare stompbox...we think it's an early Ibanez, pre-mass manufacture...

Description:

•Blue-grey•Slant-faced•"NORMAL/PHASE SHIFT" printed in Eurostile font directly under the footswitch•"PhaseTone" printed in elaborate white cursive lettering under the small black footswitch•A red LED at the top of the slant, with "Foot System" printed in elaborate white cursive lettering under the LED•A single metal pot for speed control•the back plate has simply printed: MADE IN JAPAN/PAT. PEND.•Thre is NO brand manufacture name anywheres on the box

Taking off the backplate (and there are only two screws left, so we better not lose one of those, right??!!!), note the wiring is much more intensive than the current run-of-the-mill stompbox - true bypass?

There is also a black plastic casing enclosing the circuit...something I don't see these days in current stompboxes.
